  110%

  I would guesstimate I have a monthly coin budget of around $600 or so. Your poll is somewhat misleading as if I translated that into a % of my GROSS income, the number would be substantially smaller than if I translated it into % of my TAKE HOME pay.

  Nearly all of it, but then again, that's not saying much

  I guess they don't pay taxes either

  Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

  My salary (from my day job) doesn't include the extra money I get from selling coins that I don't want any more (or that I ripped in the first place...). So my "% of yearly salary" number is scary-big. But none of that money comes from my yearly salary -- my coin purchases are totally funded by my coin sales...

  Now about 10% - a couple of years ago it was 50 to 60%.
  
  Those where the days my friend; I thought they'd never end......

  ~5%
  
  But I also sell other coins to feed my desire for newer purchases, which I don't count in the 5%.

  Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!
